Mr. Mohammed Shafiq, Chief

“It is time for the people to come together to discuss the genocide
and killing in Gaza and our Government’s pathetic and biased response.
I know how well liked George Galloway MP is and it will be a pleasure
to welcome him to Rochdale.
I urge people of all
faiths and those of none to take time and come the special Conference
we are holding on Sunday 25th January 2009 at 3pm at
Castlemere Community Centre, Tweedale Street, Rochdale
With speakers from all
sections of society, it will be a great honour to welcome also
representatives from the Jewish and Christian communities to clearly
demonstrate that all faiths value human life and what is happening in
Gaza is contrary to our faith’s teachings.
We will also propose a
Conference motion to be agreed on urging investigation of war crimes in
Gaza committed by either side”
